To learn about the costs associated with Debt collection & Repossessions. ___________________________________________________________________________ Mackay is a city on the eastern coast of Queensland, Australia, about 970 kilometres (603 mi) north of Brisbane, on the Pioneer River. Mackay is nicknamed the sugar capital of Australia because its region produces more than a third of Australia's cane sugar.[citation needed]
There is controversy about the geographic location of the region,
with most people referring it as a part of North Queensland, with some,
even the Bureau of Meteorology, calling it the far north end of Central Queensland.[citation needed]
Equally, there has always been much contention over the pronunciation
of the name Mackay. Correspondence received by Mackay City Library in
2007 from descendants of John Mackay, confirms that the correct
pronunciation is Mackay (rhyming with sky), from the Gaelic name
"MacAoidh" which is pronounced "i" not "ay".A list of Mackay suburbs, including their description and location: Back to our Queensland Coverage list | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
